PERFORMANCE
PROGRAMS FOR
TRIATHLETES
Multi-discipline S&C, transition fitness, workload management across three sports, and race-specific preparation — built by an Ironman All World Athlete.
The Triathlete Performance Program
Triathlon S&C is uniquely complex — the program must support performance in three disciplines while managing the cumulative load of training for all three simultaneously. Generic gym programs don't account for this. Dave's does.
Shoulder strength and stability, pull power, and the upper body endurance to maintain stroke mechanics across an open water swim leg. Dry-land work that translates directly to the pool and open water.
Lower body power, position tolerance, and the core endurance to hold an aerodynamic position across a 90km or 180km bike leg — while preserving energy for the run.
Running economy, leg strength, and the neuromuscular resilience to run at pace off a fatigued bike leg. The run is won or lost in S&C as much as in run training.
How We Build Triathlon Performance
Triathlon S&C requires specific programming decisions that only someone who has raced triathlon fully understands. Dave brings both the coaching expertise and the lived experience.
Your race calendar drives the S&C program structure — not a generic annual plan. Off-season capacity building, pre-season strength development, in-season maintenance, and race-week tapering are all built around your specific events. Sprint to Ironman, single race to full season.
The biggest risk in triathlon training is cumulative overload — the total of swim, bike, and run load exceeding the body's capacity to recover. We build S&C programs that complement your training volume, not compete with it. Recovery and adaptation are built into the structure.
Each discipline produces specific injury patterns and physical demands. We address all three in a single integrated program — not three separate programs bolted together. The shoulder work that prevents swimmer's shoulder also improves pull power. The hip work that prevents running injury also improves bike power.
Dave's Triduro S&C program is designed to integrate seamlessly with TriApex Coaching — his personal triathlon coaching brand. Athletes who use both get a fully coordinated training and physical preparation program, with swim, bike, and run training and S&C working together rather than pulling in different directions.
